Miami signs another top WR to 2013 class

Miami inked a third player in the post-signing day scrum when Texas wide receiver Derek Griffin made it official on Tuesday. He brings the signing class total to 19 and adds considerable size to the Hurricane receiver corps.

A 4-star prospect, he stands 6-foot-7 and also stars on high school's basketball team. He appeared to be set on signing with Texas A&M, but never pulled the trigger.

According to this story from ESPN, there were concerns about his academic eligibility. Junior colleges were an option for the Rosenberg, Texas product.

The signing, confirmed by UM on Tuesday evening, is yet another surprise in this long recruiting season. On signing day in early February, coach Al Golden said there might be room for one more member of the class.

Scholarship limitations as they relate to the NCAA case were a concern as UM appeared to be self-imposing a ceiling. Golden wouldn't say what that was at the time.

Since then, they've added three new players. Griffin is the latest to join the class.
